Took this off the back of my unitView attachment 75990
Am going to dig into the instruction manual. I swear when I read it it mentioned 2500W or more. Might have been at start up/ preheat.
I found the 14 ga extension cord getting warm. Manual says use 12ga. Which I thought is what it was using. So replaced it with proper ga and no heating issues
It definitely does not pull more than 1800w. Anything higher would flip your breaker and/or burn out your outlet.
Not all cords are equal. A lot of “14ga” cords are poor quality and cannot sustain 1800w. It never hurts to go a size larger, when in doubt. Any cord that you care about should also be UL listed. That generally means they won’t be too bad.
